CHICAGO ATLAN'iH UNFAIR AND DANGEROUS TAX SCHEME No. 2 on next Tuesdays ballot is a proposition that would tax certain chain stores in amounts ranging up to $5,000 a year per store exempting chain oil stations, the big chains made up of independent merchants, and all other competitors of the companies affected. This fantastic extra tax would be levied against any of its chain store victims which sought, for exmple, to move from one location to another, no matter how necessary the reason. Paper holds only the most sympathetic and attitude toward , the problems of independent merchants cooperative but we honestly believe that enactment of No. 2 not only would prove of Do real benefit to independent merchants, but would prove a positive and very serious disadvantage to all the people of Utah. The chain store death tax should be decisively defeated, and the tally way it can be beaten is for all of us to vote AGAINST No 2 pn next Tuegay, Croup Warns of Higher Prices If No. Passes 2 With nearly 100 important on record Utah organizations against No. 2 on next Tuesdays ballot, the campaign to defeat the chain store death tax reached its most critical phase. all-Ut- ah Organized Friday, October SOUTH CACHE COURIER groups of citizens that have studied this issue are practically unanimous in condemning this trick tax scheme to raise But that prices, officials said. wont mean a thing in the final analysis, unless the people of the state go to the polls next Tuesday and cast their votes. Our only fear now is that, with sentiment overwhelmingly against No. 2, too many people may sit back. And think their vates arent necessary. If any considerable number of people stay away from the polls through then there is a very grave danger that the bill might be adopted. This would be a tragedy for the state of Utah, since it has been proved conclusively that the bills passage would raise retail prices and thus lower the standard of living of practically everybody in the state, they said. Organizations on record against the bill include dozens of agricultural groups, led by the Utah Council of Farmer Cooperatives, the Sugar Beet Growers Association, Utah Farm Bureau, Utah Poultry Producers Cooperative Asand numerous other sociation, representative farm associations. Also on record are the combined forces of organized labor, spear- - headed by the Utah Federation of Labor, the CIO and the Railroad Brotherhoods. Dozens of other important groups from Logan to St. George and from Wendover to Monticello have also condemned the bill and are members to vote urging their officials against it, committee pointed out. All these groups recognize the fact that No. 2 is a sinister threat to the welfare of Utah. It would disrupt important outlets for agricultural products of the state, force consumers to buy from higher-priced stores, throw many Utah men and women out of jobs, and eventually drive out stores that buy more than $16, 000, 000 worth of Utah products every year and pay nearly $1,000,000 In taxes. There is not one store in a thousand that could possibly stand an extra tax of $5,000 a year in special taxation, for that is considerably more than the total profit earned by most stores.
